Which Coaster Gives The Best AIRTIME???

[Oryp]

My top five are El Toro, Phoenix, Bizarro (SFNE of course), I305, and Goliath (SFOG)

[Athletekim]

Definitely a close toss up between El Toro and Phoenix for me. I think Phoenix pulls out on top because I remember getting off thinking "I almost could of fallen out of the train" because of the amount space between my legs and the lap bar! Those last 4 hills=best airtime ever!

[nitro4ever]

El Toro, enough said.

[RCT3Bross]

Colossos (Heide Park) holds be best airtime so far.

[JonnyRCT3]

The first drop, first airtime hill, and mini hill on Maverick were phenomenal! Raptor in the back seat on the first drop had great airtime too!

 

I sat in the second row on Raptor. That turn after the pre drop was as forcefull as those wingovers. I did get the sensation of airtime, looks like the next time I ride raptor (May ) I'm riding in the back first.

 

 

For Me:

 

Skyrocket's Top Hat @ Kennywood, front seat.

-That ejector air was amazing

 

Corkscrew @ CP.

Yes I know, but that airtime was very unexpected and was quite pleasant and painless. I don't quite remember where I sat, but it was the only time I've ever felt/enjoyed the good airtime corkscrew surprisingly offers. It's one of those hidden gems that I have to rediscover next season.

El Toro, Phoenix, and back seat of Cyclops!

Phoenix, and a back seat ride on Cyclops

Gotta be Skyrush no doubt about it!

[Pinfari13]

Skyrush did have absolutely insane airtime, but I still prefer Phoenix at Knoebel's much more, simply because of the multiple bunny hops in a row, the loose restraints, and the fact that that ride makes me laugh like an idiot the whole time for some reason.

[dylanreich]

I'm going to go with Phoenix here. I absolutely love the mixture of the buzz bars plus the bunny hills at the end that can get you near-standing up.

[Meteornotes]

Balder and Phoenix do have that almost constant "out of the seat" feeling.

Skyrush definitely gets the award for strongest negative g-force.

 

My favorite first drop is still Griffon, it has a better "weightless" feel than any other I've been on.

[ViperLover]

I like the Ride of Steel at Darien Lake. Although the helixes waste a lot of room, the airtime is to die for (Literally, remember the two guys that fell out?)

[Voxelmatic]

For out of your seat air, Steel Force in the front. Very fun!

For just the forces, however, that would be Skyrush for me.

I haven't been on a ton of Airtime machines sadly. My Top 5 are below.

 

1. Voyage - Rode it when it was new in 2006 and if had some great airtime.

2. Magnum - Got a trimless ride and the airtime was just INSANE

3. Maverick - Those couple of Airtime hills are great

4. Apollo's Chariot - Speaks for itself

5. Superman: Ultimate Flight (SFDK) - Purely for the fact that none of us expected that it would have the airtime it has.

 

Honorable Mention: GhostRider - This is referring to back in the day when it wasn't trimmed to S#!t in the middle.

[Angle O. Descent]

El Toro has the sickest airtime I've ever experienced.

I'm really looking forward to trying Voyage, Phoenix and Skyrush

[jray21]

Phoenix has some insane airtime, and is probably my number one. Next would probably be El Toro, with honorable mention to Superman: Ultimate Flight. S:UF doesn't have 'normal' airtime, but that ride seriously tries to throw you out of the train!

[leviathanlover]

The coaster that had the best airtime was the Mighty Canadian Minebuster before it got modified. There wasn't a second on that ride where your butt was touching the seat.

 

Now, I'd have to say Magnum at Cedar Point!

[Oryp]

El Toro and Phoenix give incredible airtime, of course. Also, I305 in its original form had incredible ejector on the first camelback.

[Condor]

For sheer quantity I would have to say Phoenix. But for strongest "this coaster wants to eject me into the parking lot" airtime, Skyrush without a doubt.

[Randomman295]

This may have already been done before, but if it hasn't, I'm looking forward to seeing your opinion on this.

 

What's the greatest single airtime hill on a coaster you've ever ridden?

Could be a floater hill, a speed hill, a first drop, a double down, anything: Just as long as it's a hill and it has airtime.

In case you still don't know what I mean, the floater hill just before the grand turnaround on Magnum XL-200 is my favorite. Three solid seconds of glorious flight.

[Brassinthegrass]

Toss up between the intensity of the "over Rolling Thunder" hill on El Toro and the fun floating on this bunny hop on Leviathan.

 

 

[VinTheAttendant]

^^That hill over Rolling Thunder on El Toro was definitely the first one that came to mind.

 

Also, the first hill on Skyrush; going over an 80 foot crest after a 200 foot drop

[KingRCT3]

- First airtime hill on EGF for its perfect balance of length/strength.

or

- First airtime hill on Shambhala for its looooong seconds of awesome floating.

[Spideyfreak]

Skyrush. All of them. Most insane airtime I've ever experienced!
